Hygiene and Physiology has been
very satisfactory in my school this
winter. A few of the pupils objected
to the study but they were easily in
duced to take the study and then they
made good progress, as good as in
any of the other branches taught.
The Legislature of Pennsy lvania
was fully satisfied that Mrs Hunt re

Usher. If Ohio Statesmen were led
to believe that Mrs Hunt received a
royalty on books and therefore die

Legislature of Pennsylvania should
have done the same, especially when
members of the Pennsylvania Legis
lature were petitioned so strongly by
their constituents. Even admitting
that Mrs. Hunt does receive royal

does not, the Temperance study is

to every pupil in our common schools

AT this season nearly every one needs a
good medicine to purify, vitalize, and enrich

strengthens and builds up the system, creates

it eradicates disease. Give ii a trial.

ALL ALONG THE LINE.

Not only in this city but all along
the Panhandle from Pittsburg to
Columbus were arrests made. 1t had
been so timed that men wanted were
on duty within reach. 1t was a part
of Norris scheme, The time had
been fixed at midnight last night, and
all the officers were on hand, and, so
far as heard from, captured their men.
Two hundred and ninety.fVe war
rants had been issued for railroad EN-
ployes, and though the work began
at midnight last night it was not an
ticipated that all the men would be
gathered in until tonight There
was report that other roads were
interested, but officials denied this.
Colonel Norman M. Smith, who is
connected with Pittsburg Transfer,
with headquarters at Twenty eighth
street, was seen about l:30, and cor
roborated the details as gathered by

moving trains were broken open and
goods stolen, including every deserip-

that at least 100000 worth of goods
were taken, for which the company
had to pay. Ia August last we got
clue and the company determined
to push it to the end Detectives
were employed who followed up
every scent, and finally we had the
information upon which to proceed.

cided to make a move all along the
line from Columbus 10 Pittsburg, and

strike the blow.

Can there be anything palmer than
this? [ have used italics to make it
plain.
Now, when the act of 1861 says
nothing about other evidence or facts
but prescribes the duty of the court
solely upon the petitions and remon
strances, do you not see how my Ian
guage in Schlaudecker's case is dis
torted when you say | said: at is
the duty of the court, therefore, to
hea: and determine each case on its
evidence and facts, n1eaning,o Of course,
all the evidence and all the facts, not
simply that portion Of them EN- braced
in the petitions and remonstrances. "
Now, | meant no such thing, for that
case was decided on other evidence
and facts, and not on petitions and

the record in my letter
1t is true the act of 1861 existed

is wholly untrue that my opinion had

a Successful Appeal.

In the year 1864, by sentence OF
court marital for desertion, some three
cor four soldiers were to be shot Mt Fort
McHenry, baltimore, and the day of
execution was fixed and almost at hand.
Among these soldiers sentenced to
death was one with wife and three
small children, in whose behalf strong
pressure had been brought to bear for
mitigation of sentence, but without avail.
The night before the morning on
which the execution was to take place
at sunr Sc, the wife OF the soldier, with
her children, came to Washington, to
intercede in person with the President,
if she could in any way gain his pres
ence, for the life OF her husband and
the father OF their little ones.
Not familiar with even ordinary means
OF reaching the presence of the Execu-
tive, stranger to every one, and guild
ed only by hope born of despair, and
the faithfulness of true wife and
mother, this woman had come to make
a lac effort and appeal.
BY good fortune she was guided Ill

anguish of the wife which induced Mr..

HIS PRIDE TOOK 4 TUMBLE.

1T was n western engineer who told
the following story of himself:
One day our train stopped at "a small
station i'll Indiana, and observed two
green-looking countrymen in "home-
spun curiously inspecting the loco
motive and occasionally giving vent to
expressions of astonishment. Finally
one of them approached and said;
Stranger are this ere injine?"
Certainly; did you ever see one be-
fore?"

wouldn't be any warning. First I'd

AT that moment long, lank, loose
ly built "roustabout" came up the mar.
row stairway with cleaning tube of
copper and iron on his left shoulder,
That's the left-handed man from

put together with strings. Hullo!"H A
small, sharp nail had worked its way
out OF some ragged pocket, and had
fallen upon the deck, with its heel in u
crack aud its point SO aimed that the
next forward step of the loose man
drove one of his bare, splay feet heay-
lily against it. There was sharp veil,
a sudden forgetfulness of all the warn
lngs OF the old artilleryman, and Ran
dali saw the shell pitched recklessly,
point forward, toward the deck of the
barge.
He did not wait for it to strike.
Wheeling instantly, he sprang out,
with all his power, in q swift headlong
dive, which carried him deep below the
rushing waters of the Mississippi. Be-
hind him, as he struck the surface,
rang sharp explosion, and then, with
| short intervals whose seconds no man
counted, great column of flame and
blackness shot upward for hundred
feet into the air, accompanied by vast
volume OF stunning sound--the voices
OF many detonations blended thunder
ously into one.
Nearly minute later Randall's head
came oat of the water many rods down
| the river.
They're all gone!" he exclaimed.
He was good swimmer, and an eddy
aided him to reach the bank. He hur-
ried to the spot where a yawning rift
in the side of the levee now marked
the landing-place of the powder barge.
There was no other sign that any such
boat had ever been there, except the
long, cleaning rows of percussion
shells yet lying just beyond the ridge.
| Not one of them had been exploded by
the concussion.
When the Colonel of artillery came
galloping up, half an hour later, Randall
touched his hat and pointed at the
shells on the levee.
Colonel he said, "that is about all
the report can make"
II heard the other report" said the
Colonel, "and SO did all Memphis. How
did you manage to escape?" That re-
port was also briefly made. II could
hear the explosion while l was under
the water. 1t Jared me all over, but
it didn't stun me-" Randall said.
The Colonel took off his hat and re-
marked with emphasis; "Now, that's

talked of considerably. The result
was that one morning neatly formed

and foot board, and on the former were
the following lines:
